...I know what you mean about protecting the one underneath, it must be a Mum thing, great little jars always pretty to see & your inspiration wall looks groovy, your journal pages are VERY exciting & now you need to find a pride of place for your new fabby badge...have a loVely week Trace...Mel :)P.S. loVe the new look of your blog!

Your tags look absolutely beautiful. I know the feeling of when you have something new and you want to look after it. Crafting can be quite hard on our tools. Thanks for stopping by and happy woyww.Sandra @21

I love that little shelf that you have on your desk that is so what I need. I don't have a wall behind my desk I have a huge window so cant have anything on walls its all on my desk. One day I will have a room all my own. Dream :) Sandy :) #63

All looking great!! And here was I thinking I was the only crazy crafter who put one mat on top of the other... Difference is, mine are both old, and the top one has a hole in it.... Good luck with your journalling!!

I'm stroking your wall of tags and jars, been after some of those for ages but OH wont talk me to ikea :O(Good luck on your journal journey, I only started my first proper one at the start of the year and i still have lots to learn.Happy woyww Minxy #76

Your inspirational wall looks brilliant Trace. I've started one in my studio but only using posters so far.I love the cute little jars. I have a collection of jars but not as organised as your's. Not sure what to put in them so they are just waiting for now.Happy WOYWW ~ enjoy! Neesie #45

Hi Trace - your blog is looking gorgeous. The aqua colour is lovely. Are the images all your own work? I am thinking it is. Are you doing it yourself (changing your blog I mean)? Lots of questions but I am setting up my own business at the moment and I would like to know how to change the look of my blog to match my website - any clues where to begin would be gratefully received!! Happy WOYWW to you Helen 50

Yep, me and your hubby get it - it IS quite funny about the mats..but then a glance around your room will tell the same story - it's a; neat and lovely looking. The silver topped jars are fun aren't they - rows of treasure!

I have two mats- one looks like pizza and one is immaculate! Love the tags on the wall - they look fab and should be on show - mine are all tucked away awaiting their day and a shelf! Happy woywwing and thanks for the peek...Sarah at 13

I have a nice desk blotter which I top with an old desk calendar to protect it. I have a bunch of calendars for that purpose but I turn the papers over and about again and again until they are well and truly trashed. I would never work on the nice blotter though. Ever. Okay, I think I ate soup there once...! I love all your jars to keep this and that in, and the fact that you have room to put them where they are easily accessible.

Gorgeous colourful wall full of storage jars and tags! Very decorative and inspirational! As for mats, at present I'm working on 3 thicknesses of mats: on top of the desk is my large quilter's cutting mat (warped with the heat gun so turned round and the warped bit is now away from me), ultra-heat proof mat - one of the best things I've ever bought - NO MORE WARPED MATS ROFL!! and then my craft sheet on top of that. I think they should tell us that while the non-stick craft sheets are heat-proof in themselves (i.e. won't melt) they are rubbish at protecting what's underneath.
